I simply rise at this time to express the hope that the amendment offered by the gentleman from. Alabama wil. prevail. His views and mine on the literacy test. I think. can be correctly described as antagonistic. but so far as the existing law is: concerned we have in the past and do now agree The law as it is already on the statute books ought to be enforced. The force ought not to be permitted to disintegrate. The provisions which keep out undesirable immigrants. now in the law. are in the main good. They ought to be enforced. and if the bureau is crippled by reducing the appropriation. it will take years to get it back to the plane of perfection where it now is.
